Question about #humanRights— Article 20 of the #UDHR¹ states:

“① Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

② No one may be compelled to belong to an association.”

How does that apply in the context of forced banking? If a government forces you to enter the marketplace and register for a bank account, does that qualify as being compelled to belong to an association?

    I’d argue that having a bank account makes you a customer, not a member of that bank, but I guess this can be interpreted either way. Where are you forced to register a bank account though?
